The interior is filled with stylish furniture and sumptuous textiles, creating a feel that is at once elegant and inviting. An eclectic mix of art adorns the walls, a huge fire warms the drawing room and the beds are nothing short of heavenly. The rooms are individually designed and decorated so, from the masculine luxury of the Turret to the French/Scottish blend of Laing’s room, everyone finds their favourite.

Fauhope bucks the trend of your average Melrose bed and breakfast – while it retains the warmth and friendliness of such accommodation it boasts a style that is pure boutique hotel, and with the new treatment room open for massages and facials on site it is blazing a trail in Melrose – and indeed the Scottish Borders as a whole – in showing how b and b should be done. No wonder it has been awarded the AA Five Diamonds, Visit Scotland Five Stars and in 2008-2009 was voted the AA Guest Accommodation of the Year Scotland. Whether you are looking for a hotel in Melrose as a tourist, country sports enthusiast, walker, wedding goer or business traveller, stay at Fauhope and be assured of a warm welcome, an amazing night’s sleep, a hearty breakfast and a complete revitalisation of the soul.
